This time, on Tuesday (May 1) the “Ye vs. The People” rapper went to the TMZ studios in Los Angeles and gave a bizarre interview saying that he believes that the enslavement of Black people for 400 years was a “choice.”

He explained to HarveyLevin and Charles Latibeaudiere, “When you hear about slavery for 400 years. For 400 years?! That sounds like a choice. You was there for 400 years and it’s all of y’all. It’s like we’re mentally in prison. I like the word ‘prison’ because ‘slavery’ goes too direct to the idea of blacks.”

He added, “Slavery is to Blacks as the Holocaust is to Jews. Prison is something that unites as one race, blacks and whites, that we’re the human race.”

Thankfully, one TMZ staffer, Van Lathan, wasn’t having any of this nonsense, telling the rapper that he was “disappointed” and “appalled” by Kanye’s behavior.

“Kanye, you’re entitled to your opinion, you’re entitled to believe whatever you want, but there is fact and real life consequence behind everything that you just said,” he continued.

“While you are making music and being an artist, and living the life that you’ve earned by being a genius, the rest of us in society have to deal with these threats to our lives.”

“We have to deal with the marginalization that has come from 400 years of slavery that you said, for our people, was a choice,” he added. “Frankly, I’m disappointed, I’m appalled, and brother, I am unbelievably hurt by the fact that you have morphed into something, to me, that’s not real.”

Take a look at the interaction for yourself:

Of course, Black Twitter had A LOT to say about Kanye’s outrageous and Sunken Place remarks:

Just a reminder that figures like Kanye and Diamond & Silk are given the spotlight in this way not to win over the vast majority of Black ppl who are offended by it, but to help mostly white Trump supporters claim that racism isn't an issue pic.twitter.com/M26A4uNafG

Just cancel Ebro, Charlamagne, John Legend, T.I. and anyone else who tries to act like their fake deep concerned about Kanye West's deplorable ignorance but looks to profit from it and hire Van Lathan.

Ye vs The People for damn sure. You wore a red #MAGA cap, which is a hate symbol, and is the modern-day white cloak. You can be *SURE* it’s you against the people. This has nothing to do with Republicanism. Boy, bye! #BoycottKanye

After a week of insane Tweets of rocking MAGA hats, dissing Former President Obama and calling Trump his "brother," Kanye West is back at it again.
On Friday (April 27) he dropped a new single "Ye vs. The People" with fellow rapper T.I. to take his love for #45 to the next level. “I know Obama was Heaven-sent/But ever since Trump won, it proved that I could be President,” Kanye raps to which Tip retorts, “Yeah you can, at what cost though?/Don’t that go against the teachings that Ye taught for?”
Sigh...Clearly, Black Twitter had some serious words with this one.
